Thursday
As a church community, we are committed to Sundays and Thursdays as our main days of the week for gathering. On Thursdays, we are invested in alternating seasons of formation and community during the evenings, punctuating these nights with holiday celebrations, events, and rest.
Our Men’s + Women’s Communities and The Gathering courses will alternate on Thursday evenings for intentional times of community and formation, always taking place alongside Youth and Kids Church—creating consistency for the whole church family.
Seasonal Rhythms
Formation
The Gathering is a seasonal time of intentional formation through a variety of courses on our campus. These target specific areas of life for deep discipleship and personal enrichment, with a goal to be formed by the words, works, and ways of Jesus.
These courses meet in four- to eight-week segments in the winter and summer seasons. Courses include topics that touch on finances, prayer, marriage, emotional health, biblical studies, and more.
Kids Church, Junior High, and High School ministries meet alongside these gatherings
Community
Our Men’s and Women’s communities meet in 10- 12-week sessions in the fall and spring. Women’s Community has a 10 AM and a 6:30 PM gathering time in the Fellowship Hall, and Men’s Community meets at 6:30 PM in the Main Sanctuary. We also host a monthly coffee shop pop-up and dinner.
These communities meet for worship, Bible teaching, and small-group discussions centered around a study guide.
Kids Church, Junior High, and High School ministries meet alongside these gatherings, and there is a young adults group available for men and women.
Gathering FAQs
Is there a cost to attend a course?
Our courses have no cost. Some courses might have a curriculum fee. These fees are noted upon registration, and workbooks will be available for purchase from our Kiosk.
Do I need to be enrolled in a course to bring my kids?
Yes, our Kids Church team welcomes your 0 to 5th-grade children into their classrooms, so you are able to participate in a course of your own.
Can I bring a guest?
Absolutely! Please let your teacher know in advance if possible so they can prepare to welcome them. If they decide to register for the course, they can visit the Kiosk on Thursday nights for help.
Is there worship?
We have dedicated specific nights and gatherings to a time of worship as a church community, but we do not have a time of corporate worship before or after your class time. However, we encourage you to spend time in the Courtyard before and after class for snacks, coffee, and time together.
Are classes live streamed or archived?
As of now, there is no live stream or recordings of any of our classes. If you miss a week, join us again when you are able, and talk with your teacher about any materials you might want.
What happens during course breaks?
We have at two sessions a year, with breaks to focus on community, seasonal events, new course development, a time of refreshment for our teachers, and space for our church family to enjoy their evenings with family + friends. Details for any planned events or sessions during a break will be on the church calendar.
Can I come when class sessions have already started?
Yes! We would love for you to join any time and will always have at least one open course. Please note that some courses will not be available to join once they are underway.
How can I switch courses?
If you’d like to move to another course, please let our team know at the Kiosk, and we’ll help make the arrangements for you.
The course I am interested in is full. What can I do?
Unfortunately, we must limit the number of people in each course to best fit the shared content and the classroom size. You can check in with our team at the Kiosk for a waitlist option or register for one of our other courses.
